So far, it sounds like no fatalities as a result of the Foreign Ministry airstrike, 10 or so injured just reported by a Fox reporter.

There was another airstrike at about the same time elsewhere,,

They bombed it at 1:30 AM. It's a bit more than a symbolic gesture, but it's less than an act of war, because it was clearly planned to avoid killing anyone in the building.

Do you think this will be a mini shock and awe or just this symbolic strike?

Probably just symbolic. They'll probably pause a bit now and see if Hamas is ready to talk turkey. If Hamas keeps it's bull up then I'm sure there will be more and more to follow.

They haven't confirmed yet if it was a missile or bomb,,

The building was not levelled but it ain't in good shape either. probably a 1000 pounder, maybe smaller

They should've used a 2000-pounder or so.

Now it sounds like a missile ,, top 2 or 3 stories took bulk of hit damage.

a 2000 pounder would have guaranteed casualties..

This could be real ugly real fast - for the Pali's. Israel isn't playing around any more.

It get's ugly only if the other side fights back. And the Pali's are out of money.
